Tried the vg jumping springs, yes you won't bottom out but it drives horrible on bumpy terrain. If you go to skateparks then get em. They are about twice as strong as stock. I agree with Dad's views...

Yea that works on wheel bearing races on full size cars, you do realize he is talking about the 11mm od bearing. I'll buy you lunch to watch you do this. Thats awful small
I spent a half hr with a punch, picks, and anger. Then I realized I could dremel a notch in the alum carrier so you can tap the race out with a punch. Won't hurt anything, bearing will still seat...
I'll give it a try Slaughter, I haven't really lost performance just asking if there is much to gain buying one. I think I'm just sliding with wheels fully cranked.
Respect for your title, Sargent...
Thanks slaughter, I can't tell if the front tires are pushing or the servo isn't holding.
Thats definitely a nice option, never noticed that company before.
Ok cool, I got the mmp2400 combo which is way overkill. I don't run anywhere big enough for 4s. So I usually have a 3s in it. Never been around a 3800 so I can't comment. There are cheap dremels out...
What is your goal in upgrading? Thats a big question to figure out. Overheating stock, 3s on stock vxl isn't enough? Allot of fun can be had with 3s in a stock pede with a 9t and some fans. If you...
I get it for a crawler but would a stronger servo help a pede with trenchers at speed? And how much more powerful is really useful? If 125oz does fine from the stock 2075, the servo saver wouldn't...
Does this fix the chatter off the line at light throttle then 5' later jump to a faster smooth speed? I have to drive to my inlaws house to use their pc. I bet they don't support mac's cause they are...
Castle has an ability to program basic functions with the remote like punch, brake amount, and lipo or not. Its a little tricky at first but it works. If it beeps what you want hit full throttle. I...
I like it, how long do you keep it nice before you start jumping again?
My guess is that your asking the battery to do way to much and its overheating. The motor and esc was meant to run on 3s with the 17t and you may get them hot if pushed to hard.
Another way to...
Got some 2.8 street fighters, work well, can't compare to much though.
I got the gymkahana tires and green rims from the 1/16 traxxas line, geared it up cause the tires are smaller. That with a 3s lipo is a blast. Don't mess with the diffs just try it first. I have 50k...
Take apart truck while water boils, dunk chassis, recharge battery, re-assemble. Where is the extended down time? I think i soaked mine for 10 min then rinsed it off, then re assembled.
I sold the stock vxl combo for 117 bucks on ebay so that pays for all the upgrades..........right:) If you get hassled ask people how much they have spent smoking, gambling, or owning a boat. They...
My charger won't let you charge with out the balance connector plugged in for lipos. Lipo's become unstable and flammable if unbalanced. Do it every time I would say, but I'm not an expert. And yea...
I used one layer of cheap duct tape, 2 strips. I had one tear the tape down the middle and balloon anyway. That was last weekend. Baked and retaped with 1 wrap of gorilla. Yet to try it out. One wrap...
Get her involved in wheel tire, and body selection. My wife loves that part. Since we can't afford the BMW's we want, customizing these things kinda makes up for that.
Great find! Thats almost the perfect set up for at least half the price.
Thanks guys:) Didn't want to cut the body out for it and have the wing brake in one week.
How does your losi wing hold up to bashing? I want one to go with my desert rat body but I tumble my pede allot. Anyone else share experience too.
I taped one row in the middle and the edges ballooned. Now do 2 strips. Cut the tape and lay it on a table and carefully roll the tire inside out across the tape.
I tried tire glue in the stocks with a plastic hex. Was a bit tricky to find the pin slot but it worked. Stripped desparados which also rounded my alum hexes a little. Used 3m super weather strip...
